The hotel is in a good location, 10 minutes walk from Grand Place and Brussels Central Train Station. We got a free upgrade to an Executive room as it was our 30th wedding anniversary. Room was lovely and spacious. Breakfast excellent with plenty of choice. We had a meal in the restaurant as well and that was also excellent.

The hotel has an excellent location, few minutes away from the Grand Place. Breakfast was good with very frinedly restaurant staff. The room was very clean and spacious.

1) The hotel and rooms are clean and decent; has an old classic feel to it at times 2) The bed is comfortable 3) The noise levels are generally low 4) Its close to a metro stop and the south train station of the city 5) The bar area is pleasant to relax in

Undoubtedly the location is the main drawing point of this hotel. The breakfast, although without vegetables, was really good. The comfort of the room is average, but there was nothing to complain about during our short stay .

This hotel is perfectly situated for anybody wanting to stay near the grand place in Brussels. The mankin de piss is literally 1 minute walk from the hotel. The room we received was fairly small and outdated and although we got a good deal from booking.com the room usually sells at €290 per night which is outrageous for what we received. The room was small and all the walls we're marked with stains. The water in the shower went from boiling to cold constantly on both mornings of our stay. WiFi is only avaialbe in common areas but even at that it is almost impossible to connect to it ever, we heard numerous guests complain about this at reception. There was a business centre advertised also…..this consisted of one PC in working order and one PC out of order which looked like it had been purchased in the early 90s . An America style buffet is on offer to guests. I'm not sure what is american about this buffet but it was sufficient but defoniteley more like a continental buffet but inwknt complain too much about that. Another issue that arose was during the first night of our stay my partner was ill and needed to take some tablets. We rang the "24hour" reception numerous times before we got an answer from aomeobody who we had clearly woken. We asked was there a vending machine or anywhere we could purchase some drinakable water, to which he replied "no just drink from the tap in the bathroom" . I explained that it was for somebody that was already sick and drinking unsafe water probably wasn't a good idea. He the told me to go to the 24 hour shop nearby so at 4.30am I had to get dressed and walk in the rain alone to the shop as the staff member couldn't provide me with a bottle of drinking water which in a hotel of its size was mind boggling ! One member of staff tga deserves a good word was the hotels bar man. He was very friendly and had no problem guiding us.

Breakfast buffet is fantastic – almost everything you'd want! Located just 5 minute walk from the main square and famous Manekin Pis statue.

Eduard from Romania, February 4, 2016 at 9:45 pm

Awesome location, great for visiting but also very close to public transportation for getting to places. Great breakfast, make sure to get it! Staff was helpful. The hotel is huge, has an imposing entrance/landing and is still reminiscent of its glory days.

Mary from Ireland, February 3, 2016 at 10:55 pm

Closeness to all tourist attractions. Refurb had been carried out on the main reception areas and corridors. Refurb appears to being carried out in the bedrooms. Plenty of fresh pastries and bread at breakfast.

The location is great and the staff treated us wonderfully. The room was comfortable and huge. I'll consider this hotel in future trips tu Brussels

shandydann from United Kingdom, February 3, 2016 at 2:46 pm

I liked the connectivity, as well as the hot water. We were checked in efficiently and considering the price I got the room for it was excellent value. The secure parking is called the panorama and is behind the hotel. We weren't sure where it was but the concierge kindly let us know where it was. You also get a discount on the parking with the hotel validating it. We plan to book next year and to come back here to the hotel as its really close to the centre.

Colin from United Kingdom, February 3, 2016 at 1:46 pm

The service was good it has a brilliant "left luggage" service run by a very helpful man. This is a very good hotel withing walking distance of the Brussels Midi station. The wifi, though it is there was very slow in my room which was at one end of the hotel.

Veerle from Belgium, February 2, 2016 at 10:10 pm

We booked this hotel, since we had tickets for a concert in 'Ancienne Belgique'. On Friday night we got a very interesting rate. This hotel is very well located, close to the main sights of Brussels (Grand Place, shopping, museums). There is a car parking behind the hotel (hotel rate = 15 euro for 24hrs, only for cars <180cm). Beds were fine, the room was clean. Breakfast buffet was okay. Reception staff were polite and helpful. Excellent value for the money we paid.

Jose from Mexico, February 1, 2016 at 6:59 pm

Breakfast was abundant and delicious, location is great – close to metro station and walking distance from the main attractions in the historical center of Brussels. Employees were very helpful.

Rita from Portugal, January 30, 2016 at 11:12 pm

The location is the best, you are near the main attractions and within 5-15 minute walking you can get anywhere! You have the "Gare du Midi" really close and the subway is not far. So in terms of location and cost/benefit we highly recommend! The continental breakfast is very nice and the rooms you book on booking.com are clean, medium size and although they are in the end of the hall, you still have internet access. The cleaning staff is very nice, but the front desk are so so. Depends on who you find there!

Jane from United Kingdom, January 29, 2016 at 10:31 pm

I have cause to be in Brussels a few times a year on business and was looking for somewhere where I could use again, somewhere I know provides what I need. Hotel was clean and tidy, though tired. Bed good and breakfast was certainly worth having.

Alda from Croatia, January 29, 2016 at 12:22 pm

Location was great, breakfast also, there is an option to take smoking or non smoking room, value for money, really enjoyable hotel

Lorraine from Netherlands, January 5, 2016 at 10:11 pm

This hotel exceeded my expectations given the very reasonable price and central location. The staff were friendly and helpful. The free map of downtown Brussels was much better than the one we bought. The free breakfast included something for everyone and all the cooked food was well prepared. The hotel may have seen better days but it has been well maintained.

Radu from Germany, January 5, 2016 at 4:25 pm

The location was great: directly in the city center, a 10 minute walk to most attractions. A lot of places to eat and have fun were at walking distance.

Paul from United Kingdom, January 5, 2016 at 2:21 pm

Hotel location very good for the center of Brussels, Hotel very clean and staff very helpful, I would use the hotel again for further visits to Brussels

Lovely hotel we stayed for three nights during new years eve. Excellent location 5min walk from the Grand Place, shops and everything else. It's a 10min walk from Midi station (Eurostar). The area isn't great around the Midi station though, a bit run down. You can get a taxi outside should cost about €10. We were on the third floor, quiet room even next to main street, nice and dark at night, air-con is silent can also switch to heater if its get too chilly, windows also opened. Bath and shower combo, marble floors lovely. Breakfast buffet, boiled eggs, scrambled, bacon, toast and the usual cheeses, ham, croissants (lovely) fruit and cereals. There's only one toaster/grill machine, so warming bread can take a while. Check-in is at 2pm but you can leave luggage with porter if you arrive early which we done, same for checking out early which was at midday. Hotel Bedford provides a taxi back to the midi station for €10. Wi-fi codes are provided for each night you stay. It's only one code per device, which is a bit annoying as most guests have multiple devices (phone, tablet etc). Lovely hotel we stayed for three nights during new years eve.

A very good value hotel, baring in mind you're staying in a capital city. Comfortable, clean rooms with a good bathroom. Great location within walking distance of Grand Place and shopping. Great breakfast too, plenty of choice and lots of it.

The location is very good, plus there is parking close by and breakfast is included. The reception desk is not very smiley, but otherwise perfectly helpful. For example, they printed my boarding pass. The rooms are basic, but clean and comfortable.

Gerald from U.S.A., November 27, 2015 at 10:47 am

Excellent location – an easy walk to the Grand Place, not much more to the Museum of Fine Arts. Convenient to the Midi train station

Mircea from Romania, November 25, 2015 at 11:35 pm

Everything, the room the hotel building and the breakfast. Excellent value for the money compared to other European capital cities. Quiet neighbourhood, close to the subway.

Teresa from Ireland, November 25, 2015 at 3:16 pm

Location of this hotel was excellent, Dead centre and close to everything, 10 minutes walk from train station and 5 nins to Grand Place, Room was really roomy and breakfast was excellent. Bar was nice. There was nothing that I could complaim about whatsoever

Joseph from U.S.A., November 25, 2015 at 3:10 pm

My one-night stay at the Hotel Bedford on a layover in Brussels was perfect. The location of the hotel on the Rue du Midi is prominent and ideal, very centrally located in relation to the Grand' Place and downtown Brussels. The interior of the hotel, both the lobby and the room, was impeccable. The staff are highly efficient. I grade this hotel very highly.

Jacob from United Kingdom, November 20, 2015 at 8:31 pm

Location excellent, proximity to bars and restaurants, nice bar area, relatively cheap for capital city. Breakfast was great and included.

Jan from Netherlands, November 20, 2015 at 5:49 pm

Clean room, comfortable beds, excellent price for such quality (through booking.com, that is, standard rates are expensive). Location close to city center. Breakfast of excellent quality.

Glyn from United Kingdom, November 20, 2015 at 3:56 pm

Michael from U.S.A., November 18, 2015 at 10:49 am

Great location, walking distance to just about everything. Really good breakfast spread, with just about anything you could want. Price I got was a steal, though I think it somewhat reflected in the room we ended up with.

Susan from New Zealand, August 3, 2015 at 3:39 pm

Transport easyly accessibele Eateries all around Friendly people And a Great Place to visit Excellent start to THE day was THE Breakfast.

Yvonna from United Kingdom, July 27, 2015 at 9:36 pm

Close proximity to the city centre and main attractions like Manneken Pis etc. Possibility to park your car in the next building for reasonable price.

Kristine from Norway, July 27, 2015 at 2:20 pm

Everything was perfect! – The room was big, nice, clean and quiet. -It's close to the citycenter and the trainstation. -Breakfast was really good. -The staff were superfriendly and helpful -You can leave your luggage there for free after check out. – If i travel back to Brussel, i'm going to stay at this hotel again 🙂 this hotel is better than 3stars and better than many of the 4stars hotel i have stayed at too.

Mair from United Kingdom, July 23, 2015 at 6:28 pm

Fantastic hotel could not find a single fault. Eat in the restaurant found the food excellent and of a high quality. I was surprised that we were the only diners, The other quest missed out. The young lady who served us was charming . I sent compliment to the chef

Alexey from Russia, July 21, 2015 at 8:49 pm

Prime location in the very heart of the city's night life and arty experience, neat rooms with huge windows facing the streets, friendly and welcoming staff always there for you, they even ooked past the fact I overslept my checkout time.

Elizabeth from U.S.A., July 21, 2015 at 6:15 pm

It was easy to get from the central station train to the hotel on foot and there was a shuttle to the airport that was very professional and quick!

Jesus from Spain, March 23, 2015 at 4:52 pm

Ten minutes from Brussels Central Station, across the historic city center. Near to the Grand Place. Very comfortable and spacious room, good and extralarge bed. Good WiFi.The breakfast buffet was generous and tasting. You can leave your luggage in the hotel after your check-out, if you will be in the city for a while.

Eleanor from United Kingdom, March 20, 2015 at 7:52 pm

Near to central square, easy distance from train station, great value for money, good breakfast available and rooms good size.

Madeleine from Australia, March 18, 2015 at 10:16 pm

The staff member at the reception to the buffet breakfast was very friendly The buffet breakfast was very good and had ample choices

Daniel from United Kingdom, March 17, 2015 at 9:29 pm

Very comfortable room. Location is excellent and the attached multi-story car park is a real bonus for the center of Brussels. Minimal disruption even though modernisation was in progress. Breakfast was very well stocked and had a wide choice.

Louise from United Kingdom, March 15, 2015 at 2:32 pm

The hotel was in a perfect location for the centre of the city and all the local attractions. It was a short walk to the grand place with a variety of bars, restaurants and shops. Breakfast was good with a wide selection of food. The staff where so friendly and couldn't do enough for you, they even have their own taxi service to take you from the hotel to the train station or airport which was very good value.

Ermal from Albania, March 12, 2015 at 2:27 pm

Location. Few minutes from the main square and shopping area qs well as from the metro station. room I asked for a single room and I got a double with the same price. a big one. In a very quite spot. Amenities were excellent from a very very good brand. Nice artwork in the entrance and lobby

Jayne from United Kingdom, February 3, 2015 at 1:20 pm

Was so impressed with this hotel. Great value for money, so central and just a 20 minute walk from the station. Breakfast was included, which usually expect a charge of around £12 pp. The beds were comfy the room was clean and towels changed every day. Would diffidently recommend this hotel for value for money, location, comfort, clean and free breakfast:-)

James from Belgium, February 1, 2015 at 12:54 pm

The room was not as large as I thought it would be but all was quite adequate. The service was great and breakfast terrific.

David from U.S.A., January 29, 2015 at 4:38 pm

The breakfast was the best we have ever experienced at a hotel. The location was perfect…close to the center square, shops and restaurants and just a short walk to the main train station.

Maria from Greece, January 29, 2015 at 10:41 am

Location!! Just a couple of blocks from the royal square. The neighborhood is quiet and the metro station just around the corner.

Raúl from Spain, January 26, 2015 at 12:31 pm

Quite good value for the money. The hotel feels way more expensive to your eyes than to your pocket, especially considered others in the area.

Francis from Luxembourg, January 22, 2015 at 2:12 pm

The efficiency of the staff, especially the porter. The room being ready upon our arrival with our specific specifications i.e.double duvet covers. All in all a hotel to br highly recommended.

John from United Kingdom, January 20, 2015 at 6:48 pm

Close to Brussels Midi station. Good breakfast and choice of food items. Helpful barman who directed us to a café where local food was good value with a typical local clientele.

Beverly from United Kingdom, January 14, 2015 at 3:26 pm

The location was great, very near everything and easy distance from train station. The hotel beds were wonderful. The breakfast was huge and varied. And it was a actual double bed instead of twin beds pushed together. Definitely would stay here again
